Mango Coconut Cluster Granola

Makes approx. 4.5 cups

Ingredients:

2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
½ cup raw cashews, chopped
½ cup unsweetened shredded or flaked coconut
1/3 cup sliced almonds
½ tbsp flax seeds (optional)
3 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp organic virgin unrefined coconut oil
½ tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 egg white
2 cups chopped dried fruit: organic apricots, dried mangoes

To serve: fresh sliced mango, yogurt

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 325 F.
Combine the first five ingredients in a large bowl. Heat the coconut oil and maple syrup in a microwave or on the stovetop until the oil has just melted. Whisk in the spices and sea salt. Toss with the oats and nuts until the mixture is evenly coated.
Whisk an egg white in a small bowl until frothy. Stir into the granola mixture. Spread the granola on a large baking sheet in an even layer.
Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes. Halfway through the baking time, carefully turn sections of the granola over with a spatula, but do not break it up too much. When the granola is golden brown, remove from the oven and carefully stir in the sliced dried fruit. Allow the granola to cool completely. It will harden as it cools.
Serve with yogurt and fresh fruit. Store in the cupboard in an airtight container or in the freezer in an airtight freezer bag.

4. Take her to the spa

If a day at home doesn't work for your schedule, then book Mom into your favorite spa for a day of pampering! Eliminate her stresses with a relaxing spa treatment like a mani/pedi, facial or massage. Explore wellness day spas and resort spas featuring Pure Fiji products and signature spa treatments.

5. Spoil her with a Pure Fiji gift basket

Why not prepare a beautiful gift basket full of Pure Fiji products to complement the relaxing day you have planned for your mom. A Pure Fiji spa basket complete with natural bath and body treatments will give Mom the perfect spa ritual at home - anytime she likes. Exfoliate, moisturize and soothe skin with delightful plant based therapies. The Spa Basket includes a 2 oz. body oil, lotion, dilo rescue gel, body butter, sugar rub, crème scrub and shower gel. Choose from heavenly tropical scents like mango, coconut, frangipani, passionflower, pineapple, starfruit, and white gingerlily.

6. Go on a shopping spree!

What better way to show Mom you love her then to take her out on a shopping trip just for her? Let her choose a few favorite pieces and make sure she goes home with them! After a long day of shopping, finish off your day by treating Mom to a luxurious Coconut Milk foot soak:

Directions:

Add Pure Fiji's luxurious Coconut Milk Bath Soak to warm water in a foot spa or appropriate basin.
Soak your Mom's feet for 5 minutes.
Remove her feet from milk bath. Apply a spoon of Pure Fiji's sugar rub to hands and gently massage into feet and calves until sugar dissolves and reaches honey-like consistency.
Place her feet in the warm milk bath, rinse and pat dry.
Apply a spoonful of Pure Fiji's Body Butter to each foot and massage for 5 minutes.
Slip her smooth feet into socks and let the indulgence of Pure Fiji work its magic for the rest of the day.

7. Give her the gift of a clean house

Like most Moms out there, cleaning the house is the last thing they want to do, especially on Mother's Day. If your mom dreads cleaning out her closet or scrubbing the bathroom floor, then do it for her! Let her sit on the couch and relax while you take care of the tasks she hates the most. If cleaning really isn't your thing, then spring for a maid for the day.

8. Run errands for your mom

Every mom always has a list of things she needs to do so why not do it for her? Let her relax at home while you do the grocery shopping, run to the post office, pick up dry-cleaning or whatever else Mom needs you to do. She'll definitely appreciate the gesture!

9. Update her look!

Surprise your mom with a trip to the salon for a new cut, color or blowout. She'll feel like a new woman with a new look. And when you pick her up from the salon, be sure to give her the gift of beautiful hair all year long with the South Pacific's secret for gorgeous hair - Pure Fiji's ultra-nourishing, ultra-hydrating shampoo and conditioner. Their coconut milk shampoo contains natural coconut cleansers that help to remove excess buildup while natural extracts like coconut oil restore bounce and shine. Their coconut crème conditioner is fortified with soy and wheat proteins to help repair damage and improve resilience. Both the shampoo and conditioner are free of parabens and sulfates, which make them a perfect addition to Mom's daily natural beauty routine. Your mom's hair will continue to look and feel healthy, even after leaving the salon.

10. Don't let her lift a finger!

Remember, this is Mom's day to relax and feel pampered so don't let her lift a finger all day. There should be no cleaning, cooking or chores of any kind for Mom on her special day!

Mother's Day doesn't have to be about big, expensive gifts or large, grand gestures. Sometimes the simplest, inexpensive things can have the most meaning for Mom on Mother's Day. Taking the time to pamper her and letting her relax will show her just how much you care. And remember, however you choose to honor your mom, it's the time you spend with each other and the connection you make that matters the most. So choose one (or more) of the ideas above, arm yourself with some amazing natural beauty products and ready made gifts from Pure Fiji, and get ready to show Mom how much you truly love her!
